La Folie’s best-selling variant is their Whole Wheat Sourdough loaf, made using stone-milled organic ‘khapli flour,’ whole wheat flour, unrefined sea salt and a natural sourdough culture.

All of La Folie’s sourdough breads are free of preservatives and have a longer shelf life if stored correctly. The cold fermentation process used, lends a distinguished flavour to the bread, making it a versatile ‘everyday bread’ variant.

Qualia: Qualia, Rahul and Malini Akerkar’ eatery serves a modern, cuisine-agnostic menu, made with unexpected combinations of locally sourced ingredients, perfectly balanced sweet and sour flavour profiles, and a lot of heart. While the dining menu displays an abundance of flavours, each alighting on the palate with lightness and brightness that will intrigue the mind and excite diners’ appetites, Qualia also offers a full-service bakery, helmed by Pastry Chef & Head Baker Rachelle Andrade. This bakery offers a delightful variety of freshly baked goods that are soft, tender and delicate; albeit flawlessly crisp and perfectly flaky. The bakery menu includes an array of Viennoiserie offerings such as light-as-air Croissants; Pain au Chocolat; Cinnamon Knots; Cruffins; and a divine Kouign Amman. 

This menu further divulges a diverse range of freshly baked bread; from Rustic Loaves like a Sourdough Baguette and a Rustic Ciabatta; to Pullman Loaves (sliced) such as the unique 80% Whole Wheat Loaf; to rousing Table Breads that include a Black Sesame and Green Olive EPI bread and Butter Glazed Pretzels to name a few; to finally Burger Buns such as the Brioche bun or the classic Milk bun. All bakery items are available on pre-order.
